For many years I used a paper cutter with a blade that slides down a channel. It worked fine for 1 or 2 pages of card stock, but beyond that the blade was hard to slide and the paper had a tendency to slip, especially when going quickly.<\/p>\n<p>When the blade dulled, I decided to try a guillotine style trimmer. These are the trimmers I remember from my youth in school. The ones in school looked like they could cut wood. This is a home-appropriate version that handles 5-6 sheets of cardstock with ease and probably exceeds the 10 regular sheets it claims.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s also much faster and less prone to movement as you cut. It is more expensive than the sliding models, but for large volumes, it&#8217;s worth the extra cost.<\/p>\n<p>One caveat, I have no young kids in the house, but I imagine it&#8217;s a lot easier to injure yourself with this than with the razor models (the blade retracts into a cover when you&#8217;re not cutting). I&#8217;d recommend keeping it well out of reach of small hands and paying close attention to your own hands when using it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cutter trims up to 5 sheets of card stock with ease<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14145"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14145"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14145\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36080,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14145\/revisions\/36080"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
